I just had my pc upgraded with a brand new graphic card and a brand new motherboard but there is 1 problem. Whenever i play any 3D games, my pc will auto restart! This problem is oways appearing when 3D games is played but it doesnt exists when none 3D games are on used for e.g System was ok when i played gunbound which isnt a 3D game and system still ok when im just purely using it for net surfing. What's the problem? Can someone help me?
can we have your full system spec please? which driveres and directx version are you using? which OS? anything much running in the background?
Opps sorry guys.. wasnt at my comp for these few days So juz managed to saw the replies that you guys posted.. Hehe.. My specs are posted as below and grateful to u all ~ 1. p4 1.8Ghz 2. 256RAM 3. Geforce 4 FX5200 graphic card 4. MSI 3-in-1 motherboard for intel Direct 9x Windows XP Professional No backgrounds Additonal information : I disabled the automatically restart system function. When i started my game, it lasted for a few mins and it switched to a blue screen indicating this error : STOP: 0 x 0000008E(0xC0000005, 0xBF85432F, 0xF4CD283c, 0x00000000) win32k.sys - Address BF85432F base at BF800000, DateStamp 3f73195d
you say you got it "UPGRADED" .. so probably conflicts if your running on an old (pre-upgrade) windows install. Backup everything an re-install mate
If you have a nose around the MS site (and google), the 0 x 0000008E / win32k.sys error is one that's still giving peeps and techs alike major headaches. I randomly get an error pretty much the same as yours, usually when im browsing the net. Definitely go for a re-install if you can afford to, if only to see whether the prob re-occurs on a fresh version of Windows.
